Thank you for sharing your life with us. It takes courage to put yourself out there. I think it's pretty cool to see a person doing the same kind of thing that we do for hunting and land management. J.Au-en
We had a 6600 Ford with a 7' and 15' Brush Hogs at the regional park where I retired from. The rule was if the suitcase weights could push it over, it was mowable ! Nice work on the trails !
I have a 6 ft bush hog behind a Ford New Holland about that size. It's satisfying to take heavy weeds and small trees out clearing. Makes you feel powerful urrrhhh!
I wish tractors today were still this tough and simple, we used to have a a 1972 2000 ford we could do this with and it took it like a champ, I'm afraid to do this with my new tractor lol
Thank you for sharing..I love cutting clearings and trails on our lease..we go back and spray some access trails with non selective herbicide in late summer..it helps kill plants because they will not be as abundant during coming growing season..we mow some too promote forbs and the such.. Awsome video and the managment is as fun as the hunting
Thank you so much! We work hard at the lease and we do some spraying basically as you mentioned as well. This year I didn't get to film much of anything because of work. But we try to keep certain area open for movement for the deer. We hunted this area already and I almost took a buck from the stand. But I couldn't see enough of his spread to determine if I wanted to shoot or not. Good luck this season!!
I had to laugh because your work brought back some good old memories. My Dad, which has passed away at 94 yrs old used to tell me "don't worry, if you can drive over it you can mow it", looks like he was right! LOL!!!
The sad part I dislike about brush hogging is having to constantly check the radiator screen & clean it off, so the tractor doesn't overheat. Fall is the worst time, so many seeds if they weren't scrubs, I'd be rich. Good job & thanks for the video.
I used to do ConTrac Mowing for the city. They would give e crazy mowing like that. After loosing tires and a few radiators I had to quit it got to dangers. Hidden gas lines stick him up was fun calling The gas company in the fire department after braking then. This was a good video enjoyed it
wow that sounds like it could be very dangerous!! I love to use my tractor. It's such a great stress relief. I'm headed back over to our lease soon to do some more mowing like this. I am hoping to film it as well. Thank you for your kind words!
Your tractor is the "rare" model 3010 (3010S) New holland-Ford. One of only just over 5,000 built between 1996 and 2002. Serial numbers started at 700050, Only about 845 units were built anualy untill production ended.on 2002.
@@tractor1358 wow I had no idea! I haven’t seen very many of them around my area for sure. An older many had it and put most of the hours on it. It’s a very good tractor
Dude that thing is beast. Makes light work of a tough job. I'm looking at property in a densely wooded are about 2 hours away. I was wondering how the hell i was gonna clear the lot. I think you answered my dilemma
Yes this thing is an absolute monster. It's supposed to cut up to 3 or 4 inch diameter stuff. They're pricey but will last a lifetime. Used models are reasonably priced when available. Just make sure you get something with replaceable parts. The lighter duty cutters are not good for this type of work. Oh, and another option would be renting a brush cutter on a skid steer. Those things can cut some crazy big stuff without getting out of the seat. Are you still in texas?
Yea but maybe some people can’t afford a front loader or a tractor with one none of my tractors have one and I brush hog every year with them one is a ford and I got a Alice
I hear it referred to as brush hogging and bush hogging; what's the difference, please? Also, animal experts say that dogs roll in smelly things in order to disguise their own scent. My Bloodhounds and Coonhounds loved to roll in wild animal scat as soon as they hit the woods. It's just part of being a dog, and I had to often drive home with the rear windows down in the Suburban.
I live in Harlem but I'm from the South -- the Pee Dee area -- and 55 miles inland from Myrtle Beach. I go back often. Your channel brings back memories of my great grandfather bush whacking our garden field for planting. You have a fan club here in Harlem. Next time you're in New York, come to my friend's soul food restaurant, Melba's Restaurant (Google it). She will treat you like family. Be careful and safe!
That sounds great! I'd love to come by and get something to eat. I really would like to come visit the city whenever things get back to normal. And when I do, I will come visit! Thank you so much!
@@ahillbillyredneck2375 Not a problem. Will give you, your family or who ever accompanies you a historical tour. I think you would also appreciate the fact that even though I live in Harlem (Manhattan), would you believe I'm just a few yards across from Yankee stadium (the Bronx). Whenever the games are played there and when they play the theme song throughout the game and there are base hits, etc., I hear it all the time (lol). Anyway, hope to see you next year. Stay safe -- equipment-wise and with the virus!!!!
Not really... I use deet as much as I can. It is very serious if left untreated. I have friends who have suffered from tick born illnesses. Oh and my dad was suspected a few years ago....I try to be very cautious and check when I feel something crawling on me.
Spray all of your clothing and boots with Permethrin. It will keep the ticks, flees, even flying insects like mosquitos off of you. (Probably not yellow jackets tho lol) it’ll last foe several washings on your outdoor work clothes. Good stuff. I get it from Cabela’s.
My tractor doesn't have anything that can be hurt if I keep moving forward. As for a flat I just have to be careful not to go over anything that was cut prior to me being there. There's always a chance to punch a tire, but I usually cut them tall enough that the tractor will push them over when I have to drive over them. Thanks for the comment!
I do in some of it. However, running over the recently cut pines can puncture a tire. My tractor is pretty rugged, and has very little that could be damaged like others. Also some of the terrain is deceptive. Its pretty steep in some of that, and I would drive up it then down.
Yes probably wouldn't hurt. I usually grease every time I take it out. I am terrible about remembering to do that! I love the tractor though! Thank you!
That's a valid point, but my tractor is pretty well protected. Also this was about 300 yards long or so. Would have been dangerous to back over it. And those small pine trees once they have been cut are bad about puncturing tires. Unfortunately we let this area get ahead of us. Ideally we don't want it to get this tall.
We still use the area for hunting. We have had issues with thieves since I posted the video and I have not cut the trail down again hoping that would keep them away
Hi there, How HP is your tractor ? I'm going to look up that type of brush hog that you're using but it's probably too much for my tractor. It is a 1964 Ford 2000 LCG ( low center of gravity )- around 37 hp. Thanks for the video , all the best
My tractor is rated at 55 hp. And the bh26 claims to need 45 pto hp. Mine pulls it fine, but they make a model below this one that cuts slightly smaller stuff and I almost bought that model instead. The dealer that I bought this from gave me a GREAT deal for this cutter. So I couldn't pass that up.
She sat in the truck with the windows down. She use to be able to keep up with me on equipment. But she's about 9 now and has slowed down some. It was in the 60's that day, and the only reason I took her. I leave her at home when it's too warm
It is a 2002. Bought it from an older gentleman and he didn’t use it much prior to passing. It’s a good tractor but I think for most of what I do I would prefer something with a hydro transmission
@@njh18 I live in a rural wooded area. I've seen the fields go from being a mowed field to woods, many times. First, it's overgrown brush. Then, trees sprout. They eventually kill the underbrush by robbing their light. It then become forest . It's the same cycle every time. That's why deer like to eat at the edge of woods. Light can get to the plants there. If he wants it out of the way NOW the bush hog it. It grow back fast. I'm sure the wild life is fine. They will lose berries or whatever food sooner or later from the trees blocking the light. It's always changing. The food source will move.
I was cutting multiple areas and that was kinda the middle ground. Also the trailer is a little big to get down some trails and can become difficult to turn around or even possibly get stuck with the ground being wet
Wow! I'd love to see a picture! I dated a girl, believe it or not, and she had a dog who we swore were from the same parents. I don't know if I have video but will look to see if I do and let you know if I find it.
This is true. However he has a loader on his tractor and I think that's the lines he was trying to protect. I only have a couple of lines on mine, and they're both around the operators platform to serve attachments. Thank you for your comment!
@@DCR52 no I haven't yet. I saw that it had posted this morning, however I am currently sitting in a tree stand. I'm going to try to watch it tomorrow. My favorite upload from him is the one titled "every vehicle I've ever owned" I absolutely love the old memories he had from his youth!
I'd love to do that! I just don't have the equipment yet. I have a heavy duty cutter. It handles this well, going to be cutting some more stuff at the start of next year.
I pay close attention to how the brush is pushing over and it pretty much flat after I get the front axle over the brush. The problem with backing up is the cut off pine trees. They can easily puncture a tire, and there was a bunch of them. Also, the video might be confusing a little bit here because this is about 300 yards long. Thanks for the advice!
That's a great concern! And there is nothing on the underside that can be hurt. If I were to back over something that wasn't cut, I might be afraid then. However, my tractor is very basic and well protected.
Copperhead, cottonmouth, and rattlesnakes call my place on the Red River in Texas home. I wish they'd do a better job on the gophers. Those mounds and holes when the clay hardens are game stoppers.
You have a nice looking truck and trailer, nice tractor and bush hog! Don't see any bailing wire or duck tape and didn't have a beer can on the exhaust pipe! No way you can be a redneckhillbilly!

Good work brother!
ITS THUMP UP. THE MACHINE LIKE COOKIE MOMSTER CAN EAT IT ALL. AWESOME
These people talk too much we don't care we just.want to see action
😂😂😂 100% we don't even care about the dog unless it's getting brush hogged 😂😂😂
And we don't get to see hardly any of the bush hog itself. Just running the stuff over.

I recommend bush hog for small precise mowing occasions. For huge grass and trees like these, i recommend a grass stomper implement
You're not lying about that stuff being thick. Maybe not redbugs having to walk single file thick, but it's thick enough.
Damn good thing you have a Ford Tractor I don't think a Deere or IHCase could have handled that job😄👍
90% of the fun of being a hunter is getting to and maintaining your plot
GET ER DONE!!!! Nice. What’s size tractor and bush hog is that?
Good luck on your hunting season from bartlett tn.
Thank you so much!! Same to you!
sounds ike cutter is running too slow,,,,is it at max pto speed here??
Newbie here, is there greater risk of radiator damage without a front end bucket?
Yea but maybe some people can’t afford a front loader or a tractor with one none of my tractors have one and I brush hog every year with them one is a ford and I got a Alice
I’d be in reverse backing through that thick brush!
I don’t know it seems like that’s a job for the NH C345 Compact Track Loader with a chipper on the front.
Caught it just in time. Another year and you'd be doing this with a chain saw.
You're absolutely correct! That would have been a long day with a saw!
Or he could buy a used 6foot sidewinder, but you have to know how to use it.

Bush Hog is a brand name. Bush Hog and brush hog are both names for a kind of rotary cutter.
Like skillsaw.😅
Man after watching this video, I got a bunch of Pine needles in my room. I can't figure out where they came from lol. 🌲

How did you not get a flat or tear anything up
My tractor doesn't have anything that can be hurt if I keep moving forward. As for a flat I just have to be careful not to go over anything that was cut prior to me being there. There's always a chance to punch a tire, but I usually cut them tall enough that the tractor will push them over when I have to drive over them. Thanks for the comment!

Have you ever seen signs of criminal activity underneath the heavy brush?
Lol
Curious how long it was between cuts?
I think that was 3 years old but could have been 4 lol. Unfortunately I don't have a great memory
Nice work sounds like you need to do some greaseing on the tractor. 😄💖👷
Yes probably wouldn't hurt. I usually grease every time I take it out. I am terrible about remembering to do that! I love the tractor though! Thank you!
hello, how do you prevent it from growing again in the trail
Drive the tractor and bushhog back thru again in a few months.
Back into it!!!
Does that hog run off the PTO or does it have it's own motor?
Never mind, I read your comment about needing 45 hp PTO... got it.
Im not so sure I would have driven forward but back through,, Would hate to loose a rad from a stick
That's a valid point, but my tractor is pretty well protected. Also this was about 300 yards long or so. Would have been dangerous to back over it. And those small pine trees once they have been cut are bad about puncturing tires. Unfortunately we let this area get ahead of us. Ideally we don't want it to get this tall.

One mans weed, is another mans flower. I'd love to have those pines. They don't grow that abundant around here

I bet you hate hitting a yellow jacket nest.
You got that right!! Can’t tell you how many times I have had it happen around my area. They are very quick to let you know they are there lol
